I was reading an article in Time magazine entitled ‘How Kevin Costner Went From Fish-Man to Oil Spill Expert’

It starts:

In his magnum opus Waterworld, Kevin Costner’s character is introduced peeing into a machine that turns human urine into drinkable water. Now Costner has revealed that for the past 15 years he has been working on a similar machine in real life — and BP is interested.
Spurred to action by scenes from the Exxon Valdez disaster, Costner and his brother in the early ’90s envisioned a machine that would separate oil from water using a centrifuge motion. Costner poured $20 million of his own money…

Obama and Medvedev’s Lunchtime Diversion: Ray’s Hell Burger

I have written to Support on the principle that so long as I can’t use the touted feature as intended (i.e. dictate which post I pull in) with the Time blog, then my WordPress installation is bugged even though the problem with the reblog feature may emanate from the code on another blog.

It occurs to me that had I seen the Costner article and reblogged it when it was the latest article in the Time Feed, the reblogging would have pulled that in.

What would then have happened to the wording on my article when the Costner article was no longer the latest article at Time?

I’ll try an experiment with what is today the latest article which is entitled “Will Tropical Storm Alex Hit the Oil Spill?”

Hey – nice blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I’m currently using WordPress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run.
